The varied contributions to this interdisciplinary Special Issue highlight assumptions about the human perception of, attitude toward, and responsibility for the animals that are read and written about, thus demonstrating that just as "the animal" does not exist, neither does "the human". In their zoopoetic focus, the analyses are aware that animal narratology ultimately always contains an approximation of an animal perspective in human terms and terminology, yet they make clear that what matters is how the animal is approximated and that there is an effort to approach and encounter the non-human in the first place. Many of the analyses come to the conclusion that literary animals give readers the opportunity to expand their own points of view both on themselves and others by adopting another's perspective to the degree that such an endeavor is possible. Ultimately, the contributions call for a recognition of the many spaces, moments, and modes in which human lives are entangled with those of animals-one of which is located within the creative bounds of storytelling.Animals & societybicsscBiology, life sciencesbicsscResearch & information: generalbicssc'Inventing a Horse'Morenga''Spermaceti'Achillesadaptation studiesAesopic fablesAfrican historyagencyallegoryanimalanimal agencyanimal autobiographyAnimal Farmanimal narrationanimal narratologyanimal narratoranimal narratorsanimal poetryanimal studiesAnimal Studiesanimalityanimalsantagonistic fablesanthropocentrismanthropological machineanthropologyanthropomorphismArchilochusautobiographyBollywoodBulgakovCartesian dualismcatastropheCervantescharacterizationChicken RuncinemaCixouscolonialismcomicscommunityconflictcontextualist narratologycultural and literary animal studiescultural ontologiescynicismdecolonizationDerridaDiogenes of Sinopedirect speechdiscourse analysisdogsdystopiaEarly Modern Ageeartheco-criticismeco-humanitieseco-philosophyecologyecopsychologyEl coloquio de los perrosempathyemulationentanglementenvironmental crisisenvironmental philosophyequine autozoographyEric Linklaterexilefablefiction-nonfiction distinctionfictional autobiographyfilmfilm studiesfilmic representation of animalsfoxframing and footingFranz KafkagenreGeorge OrwellGerard GenetteGreek fableGryllusHans SahlHesiodHindi cinemaHomerhorse-sciencehumanhuman-animal studieshumanismIKimitationindigenous wisdom traditionsIndustrial Farm Animal Productioninoperativityinstinctinter-species comprehensionintermedialityintertextualityintradiegetic narrationintuitionKafka studieslanguagelife writingliterary representationliterary theoryLucianlyric poetrymanuscriptsMarie Darrieussecqmaterial ecocriticismMaurice Merleau-Pontymeta-autobiographymetamorphosismimesisMoby-DickmoleMontaignemore-than-human geographymulti-perspective narrationmultispecies ethnographymusicmythn/anarrativenarrative representationnarrative voicenarratologynatural historynon-humannon-human focalizernon-human narratorsnon-verbal communicationNovela del casamiento engañosoNovelas ejemplaresparodypigPincher Martinplay theoryplotPlutarchpoetics of knowledgepolitenesspostcolonial German literatureposthumanismPythagorasrelationalityrepetitionrhetoricRichard AdamsroosterRussian literaturescience fictionself-narrativesSiglo de Orosinging micesound effectsspacespeaking animalsspeaking-forspeciestalking animal storiestalking dogsTEKThe Plague DogsThe Wind on the MoontimeTolstoytransformationtrauma theoryTruismesunreliabilityUwe TimmWerner HerzogWhite Godworld literatureworldviewsXanthuszoologyzoopoeticsAnimals & societyBiology, life sciencesResearch & information: generalJacobs Joelaedt1311316Jacobs JoelaothBOOK9910557108103321Animal Narratology3030236UNINA
